Microsoft is set to reveal its next Xbox console on May 21 – which is as close to mid-May as you can get – so, of course Project Gotham Racing 5 is being speculated by the Internet at large once again.

Plus, Microsoft owns the IP. Stay tuned, we reckon.

Thanks, ecc.

The trademark covers “computer programs, namely, game software for use on computers and video game players” and was first registered in 2001 ahead of the first entry in the series, an Xbox launch title. The renewal is just good business practice but has reignited excitement over rumours that Lucid Games is developing a new Project Gotham game for the next Xbox console.

We’ve unearthed what could be the first teaser art for the alleged Xbox 720 launch title.

This morning we reported on a rumour – which has been verified as true by Polygon – that said Lucid Games is currently developing Project Gotham 5 for the launch of Microsoft’s next console.

The studio is comprised of ex-Criterion and Bizarre Creations staff, and over on the LinkedIn profile of the studio’s character animator, VG247 has found the below image:

The blurb that accompanies the images reads, “Currently working as animator on a soon to be announced game”

A Microsoft job listing has popped up showing Forza developer Turn 10 is working on Natal.

The job ad, for a Senior Business Development Manager at the studio, says:

“Turn 10 Studios, the creators of the Forza Motorsport franchise and a division of Microsoft Game Studios, has an exciting opportunity for an experienced senior business leader to head up the studio’s licensing and business management team. This leadership role will manage the studio’s P&L, partner with executives to set strategy and drive high quality game content for our Next Generation games including the NATAL platform. This person is also responsible for managing the licensing and business management team that provides world-class support to the entire studio. The Senior Business Manager is an exceptionally strong communicator who can move seamlessly between Microsoft’s financial, legal and business organizations, as well as form a strong partnerships with the technical and creative leaders in the game studio.”

“Brum brum! Screech! Mmm, I love the sound of a Tesla in the morning.”

Mr Tesla appears to have got his wires crossed. We’ve just had it confirmed by Ruffian that the recording session was actually for Crackdown 2. Some of the Ruffian guys worked on Gotham 4, innit. Tesla and Agents for the win.

Car company Tesla seems to have outed Project Gotham Racing 5 in a recent blog on their website.

A team from Microsoft Game Studios showed up to record sounds from the Tesla Roadster, with a team of devs from PGR there to do the work.

“A team of sound engineers from Microsoft Game Studios (some working on Forza, some on Project Gotham Racing) asked if I was willing to take my Roadster to a track so they could record a variety of sounds,” was what a Tesla exec said on the blog.
